Programing 5M80ZE64C5N MAX V CPLD

What version of Quartus (or the programmer) are you using?

The error messages indicate that the programmer reads the JTAG ID correctly, but when it tries to match that device to its hard-coded list of supported devices, it does not find it. You likely need to use the most recent version of Quartus to get the updated list of device IDs.

Hi,

I'm using Quartus II Version 11.0 Build 157 04/27/2011 SJ Web Edition.

I suppose this is the latest version.

My programmer is Altera USB-Blaster, because I already have it. Didn't read anything about any incompatibility with the new MAX V CPLD's, but also haven't read about its compatibility...

Kind regards

That sounds recent enough.

The USB-Blaster you have must be working fine, since it reads the silicon ID.

How did you create the file you are trying to download?

I just tried using the Quartus 9.1 programmer to open a .pof download file for a Cyclone IV (which would be unsupported in that version), and it gives the error that EP4CE22F17C7 is not supported (this is the BeMicro-SDK FPGA).

If Quartus 11.0 did not support your device, then I would expect to see a similar error.

Does the JTAG programmer 'auto detect' the correct part number?

Altera has recently screwed-up their part IDs, with some devices now having the same silicon IDs. For example Quartus 9.1 auto-detected the Cyclone IV device as a EP3C25.

Perhaps your programming file was created for a difference device ID. Check that your design project has the correct part number.

Hi,

Yes, the programing file is *.pof.

I made an simple moore state machine with a Verilog template, just compile it without errors and open the programmer, it show me the *.pof file.

It must be *.sof? In the interactive tutorial it is programmed an *.sof.

What is the diference?

In the "JTAG Chain Debugger" I get this log:

Info: JTAG chain connection is good. Detected 1 device(s)
Info: Device 1: 5M(160Z|240Z|40Z|80Z)/..  (USERCODE: 0x00000000)

The same ID is shared with those 4 devices, as I said mine is 5M80ZE64C5N.

In the"Device support release notes (PDF)" of this version, it is written that is as compatibility with all of the MAX V devices.

Kind regards

Could you please confirm that in Quartus II, Assignments->Device has the 5M80ZE64C5N selected.

Cheers,

Dave

Hi Dave,

Like I said, in the "Device" I choose 5M80ZE64C5 since the ...C5N isn't an option.

I don't know the differences between the two, but I suppose it shouldn't be a problem. Or it should?

Kind regards

Ok, I just wanted to confirm that was the 'device' setting.

The N just means RoHS (no lead).

Do you have other boards with different devices that work? (Just wondering if this is a software setup issue ....)

Cheers,

Is this an Altera kit?

Find a *.pof in the kit software download, and see if it works.

... just throwing ideas out there ...

Cheers,

Dave

*.pof is correct for MAX devices. *.sof is for (volatile) programming of FPGA. But except for having other programmer options, operation is almost the same.
